You pick 5 commands that we did not cover in class and teach them to the class (if you reuse commands that we used in class, you must show special options or flags as we call them in Linux that we didn t explore) 2. If you feel more adventurous, you can pick a Linux related topic or perhaps a service that you want to install (Example Postfix for , Bind for DNS, maybe a gaming server). I will give you more instructions on this and a few examples from previous presentations to help. As we go through the course you will know exactly what I am looking for.

4 Learning Objective, Students Learning Outcome, and Program Spec Note: This section of the syllabus provides the general course learning objectives, the expected students learning outcome, the course scope in terms of the department program, and the instrument used to evaluate the course. If you have any question, contact the instructor or the department for answers. HCC Grading Scale Grade GPA Points A = points per semester hour B = 89-80: 3 points per semester hour C = 79-70: 2 points per semester hour D = 69-60: 1 points per semester hour 59 and below = F IP (In Progress) W(Withdrawn) I (Incomplete) AUD (Audit) IP (In Progress) is given only in certain developmental courses. The student must re-enroll to receive credit. COM (Completed) is given in non-credit and continuing education courses. To compute grade point average (GPA), divide the total grade points by the total number of semester hours attempted. The grades "IP," "COM" and "I" do not affect GPA. EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning Student Survey System At Houston Community College, professors believe that thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching and learning. During a designated time, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of research-based questions related to instruction. The anonymous results of the survey will be made available to your professors and division chairs for continual improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part of the Houston Community College Student System online near the end of the term. Course Student Learning Outcomes (SLO): 1. Develop essential operating systems skills including how to use, setup, configure, troubleshoot and maintain a current microcomputer operating system 2. Use and configure essential office applications and Help other technology users, develop training and maintenance plans and to translate new technical knowledge so that others can use it 3.
